The way you do the inner arches is to simply use another pair of outer arches welded to the inner arch and then spot weld around the flange where it meets the new outer. I have seen on another post about bonding the old inner arch, as it was from the factory, the problem with doing this is that if t...

My two cents worth. I use Fertan to help remove and convert the rust. Simply paint it on and wash it off. It will remove some of the scalings too. It forms a good surface to paint straight over without any primer. Follow the instructions. If you do use Hammerite for the finish make sure you key the ...

The battery charger fitted to the Bongo has given up the ghost and I need tp replace it. As it sits behind the sliding door step cover I am limited to the size of the replacement. I have seen this: https://advancedbatterysupplies.co.uk/product/numax-122000hd/ It is almost the same size (slightly sma...

I got one but haven't used it yet. Saw a video on youtube where someone used it. Seemed to do the job

Thats a useful looking gadget.

I recently read a thread 'Lucky Coin' as 'Lucky Colin'.

I recieved a qoute from a tree surgeon at the bottom it read DG Tees Pro Abortionist thought that was a bit odd,with glasses it read aborialist.

Interesting.
Whats it look like from the other side, where does the ducting run to?

You should check the basics first before suspecting sensors etc they can be an expensive learning curve. First I would go for a check of all the air and vacuum pipework look for cracks etc. Air leaks wil cause the idle speed control valve to try and compensate and your emmisions will be all over the...

Seems to have done the trick. More worrying now is the state of the water line next to it! :( New exhaust today too. Getting the old one off has finished me off for the day. Why not replace the metal pipes with hose? I have swopped out most of the suspect metal pipes for heater hoses without any pr...

Think I would go with Flanners suggestion. Basically you need fuel and ignition, faults you describe could be either or both. The garage should be able to easily check out the TPS with a multi meter, not rocket science TPS usually totally fail or develop a flat spot that you can push past by pressin...

Not sure where you are in London but you could try Martin on 02087600650 mob 07870604342.
May be able to help with seat too.
Croydon area.

I doubt if you will find a tested seat that swivels for the Bongo.
I havnt been able to any that have proper approval.
Is the swivelling essential to the layout of the van?
If not why not replace it with a non swivel type or reverse a non swivel one.

Cant see why not. If you were a bit nervous then double clip the hose.
Mine are run in hose to the cooler and return .

Tricky one, think Bob had the right idea see a solicitor. Police are a waste of time lip service at best.. Had a similar experience recently buying a tow bar every excuse you could think of then came the lockdown and a new source of excuses. Eventually charged back via CC company. Maybe your house i...

Ouch! Its a bit difficult to tell from those images how deep and tight the damage is. Ideally the interior trim would be removed and the dent dressed out on the other hand an alternative would be to use a nail puller, these weld a small series of nails to the panel and then these nails are pulled us...

Sad but true. Since the MOT became computerised , although not the reason, the testing has been dumbed down. The reason we were told is the need to comply more closely with EU test standards"compliance" they called it, strangely EU countries all have their own standards and most are tougher than our...
